Inventor: KIRKER ERIC JOHN
IPC: F27B9/16
Filed: 1997-11-06
Abstract: Apparatus for depositing and curing resin on work pieces (20) having a shaft therein comprising a rotary conveyor, rotatable with a compact oven (10). The conveyor comprises an annular array (30,32,34) having a plurality of circumferentially spaced work piece support members (22). Each work piece support member (22) has a sprocket (17) mounted on its radially inward end and is shaped so as to receive a work piece (20) in its radially outward end. The apparatus further comprises a driving ring (31,33,35) coaxial with the array, the driving ring having a chain (27) mounted about its outer periphery such that the work piece support member sprockets (17) mesh with the chain (27). The apparatus also includes a plurality of heating elements (12) located above the periphery of the array such that the heating elements heat the work pieces retained in the work piece support members, and a motor coupled to the ring for rotating the ring about the ring axis, whereby when the ring is rotated, the sprockets, work piece support members and work pieces all rotate about their axes. The apparatus further comprises indexing means (41) coupled to the array for step-wise rotating the annular array, whereby as the array is indexed the work pieces are passed under the heating elements to thereby heat and cure the work pieces.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a computer user to implement intelligent
input/output processing involves a connector adapted to receive interrupt request signals
from input/output devices in a plurality of slots contained on an input/output bus. When
an intelligent input/output card is inserted into the connector, the card can process certain
of the interrupt requests from devices contained in slots connected to the input/output bus.
This augments the processing of input/output device interrupt requests without burdening
the host processor. Thus, a computer system arranged in a peer architecture may be
subsequently enhanced with a intelligent input/output card, without burdening all
purchasers with the cost of expensive hardware to enable the subsequent upgrade.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production
of pile-up lids, each of which comprises an upper wall
(1) and an element (2) arranged around the perimeter of
said upper wall (1) and which forms a lip (3) protruding
above said upper wall (1), and skirt (4) extending below
said upper wall (1); the process comprising the steps of
bringing together in a synchronous manner external sector
elements (9) and internal sector element (10) in radially
opposite directions so that, owing to the forced approach
of the contact surfaces of the external and internal
sector elements (9, 10) with said upper lip (3) of said
lid interposed between them, a reeding pressure-moulding
is obtained on both the inner and the outer surfaces of
said upper lip (3), giving said lip (3) an outline apt to
allow piling up on other similar lids. 
     The invention further provides an apparatus for
carrying out this process and the lids obtained thereby.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that are associated with imprinting are provided. Such compositions and methods are useful in restoring a normal pattern of imprinting to cells. The compositions comprise pharmacological agents that are involved in imprinting and can be used in preventive and therapeutic methods to restore a normal pattern of imprinting. Such agents are capable of restoring a normal pattern of imprinting to cells. Further methods of the invention include means for identifying pharmacological compounds that exert their effect by restoring normal imprinting to abnormally imprinted chromosomes and genes. Additionally, the invention could also be used to identify new compounds that exert their effect by restoration of normal imprinting to diseased tissues that exhibit underlying abnormal imprinting.

jacket 32. The filling material made in accordance with the preferred embodiment of
the present invention is one which comprises at least two different hydrocarbons as
an oil constituent and/or two different fumed silicas as part of a thickening agent.
The hydrocarbon(s) may be a synthetic oil such as polyalphaolefin, for example, or a

oils is used to help low temperatures properties as well as better incorporate a
gelling system which may include a copolymer. A copolymer is used mainly to
reduce oil separation. Additionally, a combination of gelling agents such as mixtures
of two different fumed silicas is used to build a more stable and desirable network

Abstract: In the literature, a correlation between the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase and anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity sufficient to effectively treat psoriasis, is known. It seems that, in particular, the excellent results can be obtained with lonapalene (6-chloro-2,3-dimethoxynaphthalendioldiacetate). However, the clinical use of lonapalene has not been successful most likely due to the significant number of side effects. With these considerations, after various studies, we have identified a molecule which we have patented with the name of endipalene, which seems to guarantee notable therapeutic results without side effects.
